Toward 6G: Latency-Optimized MEC Systems with UAV and RIS Integration by Abdullah Alshahrani

“…By modeling this problem as a Markov decision process (MDP) with a discrete-continuous hybrid action space, we develop a deep reinforcement learning (DRL) algorithm leveraging a hybrid space representation to solve it effectively. Extensive simulations validate the superiority of the proposed method, demonstrating significant latency reductions compared to state-of-the-art approaches, thereby advancing the feasibility of MEC in 6G networks.…”

A self-fused peptide-loaded hydrogel with injectability and tissue-adhesiveness for preventing postoperative peritoneal adhesions by Zequn Zhang, Chao Yin, Xianwen Song, Xi Liu, Chonglei Zhong, Jun Zheng, Yaqiong Ni, Rujuan Shen, Yihang Guo, Xiaorong Li, Changwei Lin, Yi Zhang, Gui Hu

“…To assess the effectiveness of these hydrogels, which are stabilized by dynamic imine bonds and acetal connections, in preventing postoperative abdominal adhesions, we utilized both a rat abdominal adhesion model and a rat model simulating repeated-injury adhesions. In comparison to the commercially available HA hydrogel, as-prepared hydrogels exhibited significant reductions in inflammation, fibrosis, and angiogenesis, leading to an obvious decrease in peritoneal adhesions. …”

Optimal Gas Fee Minimization in DeFi: Enhancing Efficiency and Security on the Ethereum Blockchain by Heesang Kim, Dohoon Kim

“…The proposed Theory of Gas Fee Minimization strategically optimizes parameters such as the initial token supply, transaction volumes, and gas fees to achieve significant cost reductions and increased transaction throughput. Our computational simulations demonstrate that by addressing factors like market volatility, network congestion, and impact cost factors, the framework effectively minimizes gas fees while reducing the profitability of sandwich attacks, thereby enhancing the security of DeFi ecosystems. …”

Incentive-Based Optimal Nodes Selection Mechanism for Threshold Key Management in MANETs with Selfish Nodes by Yuanbo Guo, Jianfeng Ma, Chao Wang, Kuiwu Yang

“…Then, to ensure truth telling is the dominant strategy for any node in our scenario, we extend the payment structure of the classical Vickrey-Clarke-Groves (VCG) mechanism design framework and divide the payment into pieces to the nodes, with the consideration of their actual execution effectiveness. Simulations show that the proposed mechanism enjoys improvements of both the success ratio of key management service and lifetime of the network, as well as reductions of both the cost of participating nodes and compromising probability of MANETs, compared with the existing work.…”
